Tobacco Factories in the Country.


OF the 971 tobacco factories in the country
nearly one-h half are in the two States of North
Carolina and Virginia, the former having 2l1
and the latter 1877. The Virginia factories,
however, use up nearly twice as mu-h tobac-
CO as those of North Carolina. The tobacco
factories of Virginia consumed in the last
calendar year As, 747, 1888 pounds of leaf to-
bacco and 1927, ,39l pounds of sugar Mary.
land has IL factories, watch in the same pc
riod used up 6, ,070, ,34S pounds of leaf tobacco,
about 97S, 200 pounds Of scraps, stems and
licorice, and 278,5S pounds of sugar. The
Maryland factories are principally engaged in
the manufacture of smoking tobacco, of which
they turned out {, 1901, I3. pounds, with 445,-
l20 pounds of chewing obacco and 399, ,6S7
pounds of snuff. 1t will be surprising to
know that Delaware and New Jersey made
nearly three-fourths of all the snuffin the last
calendar year. Delaware, with only two fac
tories, made 2,2S4, 1872 pounds of snuff. New
Jersey made 2,476,S55 pounds. Virginia
turned out plug tobacco to the enormous
amount of 3S, ,238, ,063 pounds, and only 903,-
95S pounds of smoking tobacco. With the
exception of New York only, Maryland made
more smoking tobacco than any other State.
Five States, Virginia, Missouri, Kentucky,
New Jersey and North Carolina, made more
than 110, ,0O0, 900 pounds of plug tobacco,
while all the other States made only about
20, 900, 600 pounds.

ton for integrity and fair dealing, and was
liberal contributor to a large number of char
tiles. In expectancy of long life he built
recently the magnificent residence on Charles
